Upcoming events:
Celebrating National Girls & Women in Sports
6:30 p.m., Feb. 4, 2025
Join me at A Bar of Their Own as we celebrate women who have supported, excelled and led the way in engaging girls and women in sports. Let's raise a toast to people like ABATO owner Jillian Hiscock, a special award winner, and recall the contributions of people like Peg Brenden and Toni St. Pierre, teenagers who pressed for access to high school sports teams.
Where: 2207 Franklin Avenue E, Minneapolis, MN 55404
